Deferiet, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Deferiet village is a very small community in New York, with 237 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1197 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 7% of them. The median age here is 30.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Deferiet village earn a median of $74,583 a year, 5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 14.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Deferiet village is valued at $121,500, 60% below the national figure and 62% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,304 a month, 7.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,648 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 82.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
